The Duty Sua, Democratic paper Of
Charleston, S. g., prints the answer OF Mr..
Benjamin Adams to the article which ap-
peared in the News aad Courier, and was
commented on In the NATIONAL REpuBLI-
CAN, attacking the position of Mr.. Adams,
The Ncws and COnrier refused to publish
the answer of Mr., Adams, and the sun,
printing It, comments in a column editorial,
from which we extract the following;
We are with Mr., Adams IN the belief that
there may be rnsGality in the management Of
some ofUurpublic o0lrs AMI that there Is need

It may be that we are a
trifie premature in adver-
tising winter overcoats to-
day, but we wish to men-
ton the fact that we re-
ceived on Saturday last sew
eral styles of London made
cape overcoats from the
well-known house of ROB-
BRT AND HENRY PAR
NALL & CO., 1877 BISH-
o sc A T e STREET
WITHOUT, e. c., LON
DON, ENGLAND. These
ultra stylish overgarm ents
are much affected by the
swell young men OF New
k, London, Paris,
Vienna, and Berlin. They
come in both plain and pro-
nounoed patterns, and in
several colors and combi-
nations of colors. Some 80
pronounced as to barely es-
cape being cloud" while
others are made from those
quietly elegant heather
mixtures that are produced
in the woollen mills of Arh-
lone, Ireland. and Sterling,
Scotland. AS usual we are
first in the market with
European novelties, and
believing that anything
that's worth doing is worth
being done well, we have
provided for the stylish
young gentlemen of Wash
ington a variety Of these
handsome cape overcoats
SO large that every taste
may be gratified. We con-
troll the productions of the
Messrs. Robert and Henry
Parnan g. Co. for this coun-
try south Of Philadelphia,
and their novelties are al
ways shipped to us as
quickly az they appear,
We should be glad to have
you drop in at your conve-
nience and look them over.

the masses ofthe people and le" for favored
classes, We know that the mental, moral, aud
material elevation Of the poorer classes OF peo'
pie in the south is the most pressing and the
most shamefully neglected duty OF our public
leaders; that the ignorance and the poverty OF
those Glasses is our shame and our weakness.
We believe the first stcp in reform is the i'm
provcment aud development OF the publil
school system, and that for that purpose our
energies, means, and Ingenuity should be CON
Centratcd.
That there 10 rnscality in the management
of the public affairs in the south has been
established beyond peradventure, and
"more Democracy" such as the S,m wants
would only give more rascallty.
The Suns confession as TO the condition
Of what II terms "the poorer classes" is
true, and "pity tits, tits true" There is
but one hope Of changing 1t, and that IS in
removing the sourbon Democracy from the
control Of the public affairs. No change
con make matters worse than they are.

TnE Republicans and Reform authorities
IN Baltimore should be careful in watching
the votes offered by parties claiming to be
temporarily resident Ia Washington.
We are Informed, upon what we hold to be
reliable authority, that several hundred
names are now registered in Baltimore o.
this class. These men can best be headed
of by making each one who offers to vote
tell where he resides in Washington and
where his home Is in Baltimore. And it
might be well to have some of the Wash
ington men who know these people in Bal
tlmore or election day.

III looking over the testimony of the homicide
case oi Lee, charged with the murder OF Frank
waters, I see that several witnesses were
brought forward to testifya to the defendants
good character, but none to testify of the char
acief OF the deceased.
Fearing that some one. may read only the
pal ers from the lgh, l write this to show that
although Lee is so pure (2) Waters was not alto
That he wat, rs) was quiet and inoieusive
Wh,Tebe re yeS Gst e Was hoS
est, and faithful can be proven by the families
where he lived; prominent among them is the
present governor of Montana.
That he was dutiful and obediept child Ia
proven BY the readiness he took up his broth
trs vocation, though against his own inclina-
tiou, in order TO support his mother, who is
row crazy with griof, and whose mind is for
ever shattered.
AS Lee plunged his knife into his helpless
victim II would have been mercy indeed had
he plunged 1t to that mothers heart,
That he was sober can easily be proved by
though knowing him, never saw him under
the influence of liquor.
In justice to the memory OF the deceased.
